Suspend appears to be causing filesystem errors

So, I've been noticing for a while now that sometimes on boot I get the message, "/dev/sda2 contains a filesystem with errors, check forced". I've never understood why, but it always boots fine after checking (though this makes the boot take a long time).
Today I've finally put two and two together and realized what was causing the filesystem errors. Sometimes when I suspend, I can see some text flash on the screen for an instant. Not fast enough to be read. When I concentrated I was able to make out "filesystem" and "damage" before it successfully suspends and then resumes without incident. This flash of text happens maybe one out of every ten times I suspend. When I noticed it today, I resumed, switched to single-user mode, unmounted sda2 and ran fsck. It seemed to automatically fix what was wrong, though it never seemed to specify what the problem was. When I do that same thing when I have NOT put the computer in standby since it's been restarted, all it tells me is that it's clean.
I get the "filesystem with errors" line on boot only if I've put the computer in standby at some point. Otherwise, it boots normally. This doesn't SEEM to be an issue, it's been going on a long time and everything works alright. But still, I'd like to fix it.

So my question is: Where can I find that text the flashes across the screen when going into suspend? Can't find anything in /var/log/messages, and there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary in /var/log/pm-suspend.log. I feel like if I can figure out exactly what that says, it might help me figure out what the problem is and what's causing it.
So, can anybody help me out?
